Chauffeur Services London: Fixed Fares, Licensed Drivers, Six Airports

Hourly hire starts at £50 per hour and airport transfers start at £75. The exact figure turns on vehicle class, pick-up postcode and how long you need the car. Event and VIP jobs are quoted per brief, because vehicle count and waiting time vary too much for a fixed rate card.

Yes, every one. Each driver holds a Transport for London private hire licence and has passed an enhanced DBS check before carrying a passenger. The vehicles carry full commercial hire-and-reward insurance.

As-directed hire reserves the car and driver for a block of time rather than a set route. You call the stops as the day unfolds, add or drop destinations, and the agreed price stays put. It works for shopping days, multi-stop meetings and sightseeing.

Heathrow, Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Farnborough. All four Heathrow terminals and both Gatwick terminals are covered. Farnborough runs through FBO-accredited drivers with airside clearance for private aviation.

The train wins on raw speed, the chauffeur wins on the whole trip. The Heathrow Express reaches Paddington in 15 minutes, but you then need onward transport with your bags. A chauffeur runs door to door with luggage carried, which usually closes the gap for anyone travelling with more than a cabin case.

Nothing changes, and it costs nothing more. Flights are followed from departure, so dispatch works off the real landing time rather than the schedule. Your free waiting time starts once you are on the ground.

Yes. Add the passenger’s name and mobile number so the driver can reach them, and the confirmation still comes to you. Most corporate and event bookings are made this way.

No, none of those carry a loading. There is no night rate, no weekend surcharge and no bank holiday premium. Dispatch runs continuously, and the fare quoted at booking is the fare charged.

Yes. The V-Class seats seven with a full luggage load, and the Vito takes larger parties. Beyond a single vehicle, one coordinator runs the convoy so the whole party travels on a single quote and invoice.

Yes. A corporate account brings consolidated monthly billing on Net-30 terms, a named account manager and priority dispatch. More than 100 London businesses run one today.

A meet-and-greet means your driver waits inside the terminal arrivals hall with a name board, not out in a car park. They take your bags and walk you to the vehicle. It is standard on every airport arrival, not a paid extra.

The Vito, when boot space is the deciding factor. Both seat the same number of passengers, but the Vito gives more room for cases, which makes it the pick for large luggage loads. The V-Class is the better call when passenger comfort matters more than boot volume.

Yes. Cancellations go through the dispatch desk, and notice periods depend on the service. Airport transfers carry the most flexible terms, while event fleets and VIP engagements need longer notice because vehicles are held in advance.
